Its the only logical reason to me as didnt Gaskell sign a 2 year contract, and why would Wire buy it out based on all the utility cover they already have

In same article where Parker said Wire could be interested In Gaskell it also said ferres had said he was our player for next year. So his current deal is 2 years as originally announced. Can't see wire needing him next year with other halves they already have under contract.



Let's face it, it would hardly first time parkers plucked a name out of air and started a rumour would it. Not sure I can remember any of his rumours ever actually happening.

Oh come on, we ALL know where the Nosy one gets his 'information' from-: message boards, twitter and the like.



Truth is, he's the true bright individual out of the lot of us though - he gets paid* for using his tripewriter.



*That's clearly an assumption, of course and may be wrong, he may just get off on telling everyone that he's a bona fide journo and not bother about the remuneration..









Just a thought- won't we look idiots if he DOES go to Wire.....

I think Wire are planning on spending big for a HB position with the marquee player rule (if it get pushed through) Cooper Cronk has been a player rumoured to be going there for a long time. Marquee player rule may just allow them to sign him.

Back in the glory days he used to write stuff like "A friend told me that there was an interesting incident in the Odsal dressing room this week" - presumably that friend was someone who read that week's player column in the T&A out for him to copy down verbatim as it was always the exact same stuff!

I think calling them "marguee players" is unnecessarily harsh and, yes, a tad offensive. Wouldn't a euphemism like "big-boned" be less rude, instead of just ridiculing the size of shirt?

Only logical explanation for this move would be a deal similar to Wheeler. Low risk presumably not that big a deal on the table but less injury prone cover for the halves fullback or knowing us some other position that we didnt know he could play. Somebody mentioned that we have Russell as fullback cover but i think we wont see him there again smith on the radio said he sees him as a winger and it looks like smith prefers Penny in that position at least this season anyway. I think if we do sign Gaskell then it will be to replace Gaz O'Brien and maybe Wheeler as well seeing as Gidley is coming as well

What was the slip up today, Halifax and Huddersfield both begin with H?

If by today you mean yesterday then yes, probably, that will have been the mistake.

???????????

Gaskell referred to Halifax as Huddersfield in his post match interview. He immediately corrected himself.

A player has a bit of a slip up in a live television interview straight after the game. God forbid!
